Because i and j are both names of the inbuilt imaginary unit. Don't use these names and you wont get the warning.
You can check if name are already defined by using which. Note that shadowing inbuilt functions is generally a bad idea, unless you really know what you are doing, and is best avoided.

Is this a new MATLAB installation? Do you have a startup function? Have you ever changed the MATLAB search path? Do you use i or j as variable names? Have you installed any third-party functions of toolboxes?
